Yeah the hilux is all but sold to make way for an early 75 series or 2.8 hilux project. Having a bit of trouble finding a 75 that doesn't have huge km's that they don't want the earth for. Doesn't worry me too much about big kays just don't want to pay top dollar for it.

Hilux is now gone. :-[ Not to worry though, I have just bought a one owner '88 hj75 with an original 99,000 kays. I had the 15x10 outlaws fitted Saturday morning and it's just the beginning of a long list of plans. I will put up some pictures when I get a chance to take a happy snap of her!!

Just a young hairy ass boy that thought he was driving a car not something a bit bigger!! It was raining too which didn't help too much. It was a very sad day seeing as I put so much time and money into it turning it from an old logging crew vehicle into something worth drivin.

Yeah he came out of it very well considering the mess. He's a good kid just doing the same as most young fellas do, not to say I wasn't a little peeved of at him at the time!!!! I think he's learnt his lesson now though. :)

A little track just past Temma. I think it's called Symes Creek. People said that there hadn't been much rain down there but we still found that it was fairly boggy as you can see!!!

Mate the thing would be useless without the 35's. It is so low geared but with the bigger tread she hauls along pretty well. I was tossing up between a diff lock and turbo, but I ended up with a diff lock which was lucky seeing as I busted my Raptor a week later and needed the cash for that. A turbo is definately on the wish list though!!

Mate, they are called outlaws and I think a crowd called Performance wheels make them. I think they are roughly $300+ a rim.

Your right Nate, I'm getting around to painting the tray red. I've got the bar back on the front and I've had that powdercoated hammertone grey.

Loolux
23-01-2007, 12:27 PM
Your not wrong there, can hardly fit in there myself let alone kids as well!!! The ol' 2h wouldn't have a scratch on the big lexus anyway. You've got hp on tap my friend.

hey nice 75 and 100, sucks about the luxie though, oh well, as long as the young fella wasn't hurt

I think calling your missus a handbrake is a little wrong, given the truck she drives, seems like calling her the accelorator might be more appropriate.

Nice trucks mate:D

Nice set up cruiser! Sweet wheels, how the M/Tz handle? Got some nice wheel travel.

Loolux

Thanks for the feed back guys. Yeah, I shouldn't call her handbrake especially when she lets me do that sort of stuff to it ay?

They are actually Pro Comp mud terrains, and yeah I can't say a bad word about them. I've done 20,000kms on them and they definately are not showing. As for the flex, well it helps when I don't have my swaybars in!!!
